Israeli snipers shot and killed two brothers in Khan Yunis yesterday. Nahid Adel Barbakh was shot by an Israeli sniper while evacuating Khan Yunis; his brother Ramiz tried to help him but was also targeted.
Israeli snipers shot anyone who tried to rescue them, both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Why did the International Court of Justice accept all of South Africa's arguments but not order Israel to end its genocidal military assault on Gaza?

A reminder from Francis Boyle as to why todays decision of the ICJ matters.
What could follow is Israel treated as a pariah state:
•Israel suspended from the UN
•Palestine recognised as a UN nation
•Sanctions against Israel
•Individuals prosecuted

Israel will refuse to abide by the ICJ’s historic ruling today. They’ll continue their genocide against the Palestinian people. We must force every state to abide by international law and implement sanctions against Israel. Every dock union must refuse to transport Israeli goods.
